Swedish Style Jazz Quintet
Joyful and Accessible Jazz with a Swedish Soul
The Swedish Style Jazz Quintet is a jazz ensemble that merges the swing of classic jazz traditions with the soul of the Swedish “visa” (ballad). The name is a direct tribute to Monica Zetterlund and her legendary album “Make Mine Swedish Style” – a meeting point between the jazz of New Orleans and the heart of the Swedish countryside.
Led by vocalist Hanna, a seasoned soloist with over 25 years of experience, the band offers a musical journey where technical brilliance meets genuine joy of playing. With musicians trained at the Royal College of Music, an experience of the highest professional standard is guaranteed.
The Best of Both Worlds
- Swedish Jazz Treasures: The band focuses on highlighting Swedish jazz gems that are performed all too rarely, seasoned with brilliant translations by Tage Danielsson and the humorous genius of Povel Ramel.
- The American Songbook: Classic standards are given a unique Nordic luster and are mixed with smooth jazz versions of modern pop songs.
- Perfect for Every Occasion: From sophisticated mingles and lunch concerts to atmospheric dinners and summer evenings under the open sky.
The Swedish Style Jazz Quintet is the choice for those who want to offer their guests a joyful, memorable, and accessible jazz experience that breathes both tradition and optimism.
